“This has been an amazing year for East Grinstead, with the Grenadier Guards marching through the town on Armed Forces Day, a magnificent three days of celebration for Her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic torch passing through the town.

“These were wonderful celebrations which brought us all together as a community. We have the most incredible volunteers, charities and societies in the town and I would like to thank you all for the time and dedication that you give.

“Our town would not be the same without you – you keep us going and are why we have such a strong community spirit. Let’s carry this through into 2013.

“I wish you, your family and friends a very merry Christmas, and send my very best wishes to everyone in East Grinstead at this special time of year.”

Town Mayor Liz Bennett
